(PDMS-2) Peabody Developmental Motor Scales
Ages: Birth through 5 years
Administration: Individual; 45-60 minutes
The PDMS-2 is an early childhood motor development program that provides (in one package) both in-depth assessment and training or remediation of gross and fine motor skills. The assessment is composed of six subtests that measure interrelated motor abilities that develop early in life. It is designed to assess the motor skills of children from birth through 5 years of age. The PDMS-2 can be used by occupational therapists, physical therapists, diagnosticians, early intervention specialists, adapted physical education teachers, psychologists, and others who are interested in examining the motor abilities of young children.
Subtests:
1. Reflexes: measures a child’s ability to automatically react to environment events.
2. Stationary: measures a child's ability to sustain control of his or her body within its center of gravity and retain equilibrium.
3. Locomotion: measures a child's ability to move from one place to another. The actions measured include crawling, walking, running, hopping, and jumping forward.
4. Object Manipulation: measures a child's ability to manipulate balls. Examples of the actions measured include catching, throwing, and kicking.
5. Grasping: measures a child's ability to use his or her hands. It begins with the ability to hold an object with one hand and progresses up to actions involving the controlled use of the fingers of both hands.
6. Visual-Motor Integration: measures a child's ability to use his or her visual perceptual skills to perform complex eye-hand coordination tasks such as reaching and grasping for an object, building with blocks, and copying designs.
Composites:
• Fine Motor Quotient: a combination of the results of the subtests that measure the use of
the small muscle systems: Grasping and Visual-Motor Integration.
• Gross Motor Quotient: a combination of the results of the subtests that measure the use of the large muscle systems: Reflexes, Stationary, Locomotion, and Object Manipulation.
• Total Motor Quotient: a combination of the results of the gross and fine motor subtests. Because of this, it is the best estimate of overall motor abilities.
